Chapter 362: Woolly Rhino

God here seems to really treat us well, directly sent a game barbecue, we carried very little food on this trip, there is no reason to waste, Brother Shen picked it up and put it on his shoulder, did not stay long to continue to move forward, I looked at his back, I always felt that this was deliberately given to him by God.

But this thunder is also really terrifying, a few hundred meters is really not enough to see, if we go a little faster, maybe we will suffer.

I have palpitations, the feeling of five thunders just now is still there, and my body is still tingling, I thought it was the Mo family who knew the way, but it was Brother Shen who had been walking at the head of the team, I don't know how they arranged it.

The trip was eerily quiet, except for the thunder at the beginning, nothing happened to the rest of the world, and there were no large beasts, the largest being a few antelopes, which reacted quickly and avoided us when they saw us.

We were walking along the valley towards the snowy mountains, but the temperature did not feel low, and soon the sky darkened, and there was no cave nearby, so we found a deeper ravine, this time bringing too many things, and did not bring a tent, only sleeping bags.

The deer was dealt with by Brother Shen, the outside was scorched black by lightning, but the inside was still raw, he cut off all the good meat, baked it for half a night, and made a bag with deer skin.

It didn't seem like there was danger here, there wasn't even the sound of wild beasts, and it was supposed that we should have traveled overnight, but for some reason we all chose to rest.

The bright fire shone on my face, dispelling the cold, I was very tired after a day of walking, I still couldn't sleep for a long time, the high reaction was too serious, I couldn't sleep at all, I avoided them and took medicine, and I lay down for a long time to feel better, in a daze, I could only see a white shadow leaning against the mountain rock and sitting at the mouth of the valley.

There was nothing to do all night, and it was so smooth that I was surprised, I always felt that I was sorry for the name of Death Valley if I didn't come to some jackals, tigers and leopards, etc., but the reality was nothing, we went on the road early in the morning, and the high altitude was extremely physically demanding, and the Rao Shimo family chose three meals a day.

There is no shortage of food, there are small animals everywhere, we don't need the dried beef we bring at all, and there are snow-capped mountains not far ahead, but it is very different from the cold I imagined.

In front of me was a strange scene that I had never seen in my life, the mountains were covered with snow and frozen for many years, but the valley was like a fairyland, and the white mist with warm and humid air was steaming in the valley, warm and comfortable.

At the foot is a vast flowing water, like a tidal flat, bare / exposed rocks and gurgling water intertwined, forming a beautiful picture, the water flow through the place shows a series of yellow, red and orange interlaced colors, bare / exposed rocks mixed with blue, blue, black and gray four color textures, intertwined in an abstract oil painting, here is like God's palette, words are difficult to describe this changeable color and treacherous texture.

The only downside is the growing smell of sulphur, and there must be geothermal wonders ahead, and these warm currents also carry sulphur in them, which will dye the rocks this color.

Water is indeed the gentlest knife, they flow criss-cross, dividing the flat valley floor into pieces, the rocks under my feet are washed smooth and flat, without the slightest edge and corner, and with the residual temperature of water, like natural floor heating, I really want to take off my shoes and walk in, whether stepping on the stone or walking in the water is a pleasure.

I just think about it, I don't dare to really do it, we have a task, not to play in the mountains and rivers, but Lao Huang didn't care about this, and said directly: "I said, let's walk for a day and a half, my feet are sore, why don't you take off your shoes?" ”

"I advise you not," Agawa's voice was languid, "no one can guarantee that the water coming down from above will suddenly turn to a few hundred degrees, be careful that it is cooked." ”

"You should be stupid, the water of a few hundred degrees has already turned into steam, how can there be a chance to flow here." Lao Huang shouted.

"There is no water, the stone is not necessarily, if the soles of your feet become iron plates, no one will carry you."

Lao Huang stopped talking, I also completely dispelled this idea, the oncoming water vapor is getting hotter and hotter, the temperature in front of me must be getting higher and higher, the water flow here is obviously not the same source, some places are only ten degrees, some places are forty or fifty degrees, if you are not careful, you may really be burned.

Fortunately, there are more stones and less water, we don't have to walk in the water, I didn't expect Kunlun to have such a wonder, I relaxed a lot, I thought I had to climb the snow mountain carefully, but now it's really like a tour.

We went up with the water trend, the ravines were vertical and horizontal, and the top of our heads was blocked by clouds and mist, and we couldn't tell the direction for a long time, but my high was lighter, maybe it was a day of walking to get used to it, and there were two valleys in front of me, and Brother Shen chose the left, and as soon as I entered, I felt that the temperature suddenly rose, and I didn't go far before I was sweating wet.

The water vapor also became heavier, and the visibility was only a few tens of meters, and we walked forward for about an hour before we saw a huge skeleton leaning against the side of the mountain wall, smoked yellow.

We walked up quickly, because the skeleton was too big, it was five meters long and three meters high, the bones were unusually thick, the skull had two flat horns, one long and one short, and the huge teeth were the size of my fist, but there were no canine teeth, and it should be a giant herbivore.

I can't think of any herbivore other than an elephant that would be so huge, and if it had lived, it would have been an incredible behemoth, and there was no sign of a beast here, and I wonder why it died here.

I raised my hand and knocked on it, although it was yellow, its bones were still very firm, and Achuan had been surprised since he saw it, and now he reached out and touched its flat horns, shaking his head from time to time.

"Nineteen, you can see it." Ah Chuan put down his hand and said to Nineteen.

Nineteen nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be the remains of a woolly rhinoceros, but it doesn't look like it's been dead for long." ”

"Yes, I also find it strange that it will never die for more than three years," Achuan said, the corners of his mouth curled again, "this place is really interesting." ”

"Rhinoceros? I've never heard of a rhinoceros this big. I asked.

"It's not normal for you to hear that the woolly rhinoceros became extinct 12,000 years ago." Ah Chuan said.

I was shocked: "What about this ......"

"Extinction is just what humans think is extinction, there are so many areas in the world that humans can't set foot in, who knows what will be inside? It is not a miracle that there have not been no extinct creatures in the past, but 12,000 years is indeed a long time. ”

I looked at the huge remains in front of me and felt creepy, if it had been dead for less than three years, did it mean that there were still people living in this valley, and what if we really ran into such a group of behemoths?

"It's only been a day's road from the sentry here, and those scientific expeditions often come, how can they not find it, is this really the woolly rhinoceros?" I still can't believe it.

Ah Chuan's smile suddenly became meaningful, and he glanced at Brother Shen: "I guess they shouldn't be able to enter this place." ”

"What do you mean?" I panicked and hurriedly asked.

"Don't think about it, the magnetic field here is disordered, all electronic equipment will fail, we have taken so many forks in the road, the probability of them coming here is very low, the exploration of Kunlun is less than a hundred years, and it is normal not to find it." Nineteen spoke.

"Well, yes, listen to him." Ah Chuan said, still smiling strangely.

There are no footprints, no traces, this skeleton appeared too suddenly, it completely dispelled my interest in touring the mountains and rivers, even such a behemoth is dead, there must be unknown dangers hidden in the quiet valley, if even the creatures of more than 10,000 years ago are still alive, does it mean that dinosaurs and other creatures are also likely to exist?

Then the equipment we brought was really not enough to see, the atmosphere was a lot more depressed, we continued to walk, and soon left it far behind, and walked for nearly two hours, and found no similar biological remains.

It must be just a coincidence, there are almost no plants here, they can't survive here, maybe they live in another valley, and one of them stumbles in and starves here.

The temperature is higher, the scorching steam wafts in, and the skin is burned red, and the smell of sulfur is stronger, and if we continue to do so, we will have to wear gas masks.

The water under his feet has also changed, although the rock still has no edges and corners, but there are many more large and small springs, some large but shallow, some are only finger wide but bottomless, and more are the size of the mouth of a bowl, gurgling spring water, these water is either cold or hot, the temperature is less than ten degrees, the high is seventy or eighty degrees, steaming hot, close to the skin will feel the skin is burned very painful.

There are also some springs that show no traces of flowing water, and they are supposed to be dead springs, and there are many such springs on the rocks, and there is no water flowing through which they should have dried up, but they all have a handful of water at the mouth of the spring, as if it seeped up from the ground.

We raised our vigilance and walked slowly, just as we had just walked past a rock full of dead springs, but suddenly there was a rapid whistle behind me, and before I could look back, I felt a hot steam behind me, and the burning pain made me jump immediately, and Ah Chuan shouted "not good", and pulled me and ran forward.

We ran out of more than ten meters away, only to hear a loud sound of water behind us, I don't know that I must think it is a waterfall, look back, only to see that the rock that just left suddenly spewed out a column of water that is ten meters high, hot water fell from the sky, the temperature did not decrease at all, and the head and face fell to us.

We hurriedly dodged forward, and Lao Huang fell last, splashed a few drops, and immediately screamed: "! ”
